' UPDATE FROM LAST NIGHT '

I attended the player of the year awards last night and had a fantastic night, Annis, Mallo, Lyndon, Nosher and myself shared a table with our wives and I must say thanks to Vince Alm for a great evening and the organising that went into it.

300 fans attended the evening, 200 down from the previous year when we were going up, and the majority of players turned up and sat with fans on different tables, Caulker, Turner and Zaha were the players who did not turn up and sadly it was only Zaha who did not give a reason for not showing up.

At the start of the evening Annis and I had a long chat with Simon Lim and the only topic was about the rebrand, Lim was very straight with his responses and said he don't think Tan will turn us back to blue but he also wished that Tan had never changed the colour in the first place.

Lim did say if I got £140m why don't I buy the club off Tan as the club is "FOR SALE", I told Lim thanks but I don't think I could stretch my finances that far.

Lim promised to contact us next week and said he will set up a meeting with Tan, ourselves and a few other fans to discuss the identity and colour change, Lim believes that Tan will partake in a meeting with fans.

Tan was led to believe there was not a problem with changing the colour when he did so.

During the conversation with Lim and a couple of other club staff, it was said that in 2012 we were the far right and the minority who wanted blue, then you had those who were far left who were very happy to accept the red and they were still part of the minority but the middle ground who didn't care either way over the colour were the majority and that is the group the club went with and that is the type of groups that governments aim for to win elections.

Clive Francis CCSC Chairman gave a good speech about the season and highlighted the good and the bad in his review, there was a good rendition of "we will always be blue" when Clive mentioned the sea of blue on 19:27 of each match since the Liverpool home game.

Each player had an excellent applause when they entered the room and despite our relegation the players and the manager had the support of the fans in the room.

Ole spoke about coming into the club and having a tough task on his hands but is confident he can bring this club straight back up next season, he also said the hard work has already started and his phone has been red hot with agents trying to get our players.

I spoke with Mats Daehli and I asked him if he is staying and his response was immediate, 'absolutely!'. Daehli apologised for being part of the team that took us down and he is staying to hopefully get this club promoted on the first time of asking.

David Marshall swept the main awards and judging by his comments last night he is another player who is looking to stay and help us get back to the Premier League.

I had a long chat near the end of the evening with Mark Dempsey, assistant manager, very straight talking guy and someone who wants to hear the good and the bad, he is interested in opinions and I was honest and told him I didn't think Ole was the right appointment to bring in with a relegation battle on his hands and I felt a more seasoned manager would have been a better choice and I asked him why would Ole be the best guy to bring us straight back up, credit to him he recognised what areas of the pitch we needed to sort out immediately and that Ole knows the positions he will strengthen.

Dempsey said that they were the management team who took us down, he knew we had never been in the bottom three and this management accept full responsibility for the relegation but he has been amazed how the fans never turned on them or the team at the games and how the fans stayed loyal and that they will never forget

Funny story is Ole knew Annis straight away and spoke at length with him and was fully aware of Annis' views and opinions of him, the club and its identity.

The feelings I got from the players and management last night was that we should be united to succeed and the colour is very much part of that and they all know it and respect our stance.

Overall it was a great evening and I am glad to have attended, it is easier to go to events like last night on the back of success but to be there when there is little to celebrate and still give support to the manager and players is far more rewarding.

Ole spoke highly if our fans and said how the players enjoy playing in front of our fans and the support they have had on the road has been brilliant.

Some positive news about Daehli and positive vibes (maybe) about Lim talking to Tan about rebrand

It was positive Jules, fair play to Mats he was brilliant last night.

Zaha is a 1st class c**t. And shouldn't be near the 1st team.

no plans for blue to make a come back

I love Mats

I don't think people should get too excited about possible return to Blue. Tan is a stubborn b*stard and listens to no one....

Who told tan that there wouldn't be a problem with fans about the colour change

Didn't annis say lim arrived at the end of the night not the beginning.

Didn't annis say lim arrived at the end of the night not the beginning.

Don't think so Kev.

Annis and I were chatting with Lim at the start of the evening

Didn't annis say lim arrived at the end of the night not the beginning.

No Kev I said he arrived later, not like us lot dead on 7pm , Steve Davies said he never saw him and had gone earlier and I said he arrived later
Lim was there for at least 3 hrs

At least Lim told you straight,no return to blue. I don't know why fans keep getting their hopes up about a return to blue,tan has always said we'll stay red while he owns the club.
Pay Tan his £140 mill and he'll be on his way.

Doesn't sound like there is going to be much backing for the team which is a dissapointment.

If we only lose Caulker and Medel (most conservative estimate) we need probably four players minimum to be competitive. Maybe three if you count Guerra.

whatever lets just hope the fans can get some dialogue with tan and lim keeps his word

Who told tan that there wouldn't be a problem with fans about the colour change

A lot of our "representatives" did - that was the problem. I exempt one or two from that but the others should blame themselves.

Your in denial mate.The pressure is building on the little dictator.Even someone as pig headed and stupid as Tan will realize soon that he will have to be man enough to admit his mistakes.There will be plenty of humble pie for the two of you.

Nothing in that post suggests anything like there is no backing. My car is for sale, but I still keep buying petrol for it and air freshener. The club are bound to be for sale for the right price and I suspect that price is absolutely nowhere near 140 million,probably half that will cut tan a deal.

If tan says no chance we should never give up .tan should never of changed it just shows he isnt a football man. Keep the patience keep the hard work to get dialogue with tan and who knows.

Correct

I will never give up.

The club will get about £60mil in next few years so seems unlikely to get a cut price deal. Just the club def being up for sale doesn't see, like tan is going to put money in when he doesn't need too.

The trick is to find an honorable way out of red for Vinny !!!!

Not sure how we do it, but Sunday should be as blue as blue can be

Hmmmmmmmm

I'm very surprised Simon Lim told you that about the rebrand knowing what tan is like and that the club is up for sale, Mr Lim better keep looking over shoulder from now on

We better have a whip round on Sunday and see if we can raise the 140 million where's these buyers everyone sais there are

Sounds like a good night, might go to next years players evening.

were cardiff city we will always be blue , stand up for your identity

Tan was led to believe there was not a problem with changing the colour when he did so.

This sentence disappointed me the most. The rebrand didn't happen overnight, it would have taken months of planning, so during that time, for not even one director to approach Tan and explain how important the colour blue was and is to Cardiff saddens me to be honest. In fact, it stinks.

Zaha is on loan here and has no obligation to come to this event. I have no problems with him not attending, he's shite anyway and I wouldn't even have him for our championship campaign coming up.

My verdict is still out on OGS I'm afraid ..... guess time will tell , up to him to now walk the walk and not talk the talk

So if someone prints off all Annis's posts/opinions on Ole and showed him he would say yes i know all that?
